On the cold and misty morning of November 24th, 1971 a man boarded a Boeing 727 in Portland bound for Seattle under the name DB Cooper. Drenched in cool, he was outfitted exclusively in black and carried only an attaché case. As the plane reached its cruising altitude, he donned dark sunglasses, lit a Raleigh cigarette, and kindly informed the stewardess that unless he was met with $200,000 and 4 parachutes on the tarmac of Seattle/Tacoma airport, he would blow up the plane. "DB" is a play that explores the tale of DB Cooper itself and the stories of some of the people who have been suspected of this legendary crime. "DB" is written by Tommy Smith, directed by Teddy Bergman, and is being developed in association with Woodshed Collective.
